Snorting Morphine Sulfate

Morphine sulfate can be abused in a few different ways. It can be taken orally, injected, or even snorted. However, snorting morphine sulfate (or other medications intended for oral use) is never recommended, as it can be dangerous.

Morphine sulfate is a potent narcotic opiate. As such, it has significant potential for abuse and addiction. Some of the possible signs of morphine sulfate abuse include:

Secluded behavior, often needing to spend large amounts of time alone

Stealing, lying, or other dishonest behavior

An unexplainable lack of money

Changes in social circles, such as abandoning good friends and replacing them with new ones

Unexplained changes in mood or behaviors.

Your healthcare provider is a great place to start when searching for help for abuse of morphine sulfate. He or she will be able to help you deal with this problem or may suggest other resources for you.
